“When
I started reading this book, I didn't know where it was going to take me, but
by the time I finished I was ready for book 2. There are elements of Greek
Mythology and vampire lore interwoven around the tale of reincarnation, making
this an incredibly interesting read.

In
this book, The Strix are witches of vengeance who create their
own warriors, which are brave, strong men who become infused with the witch’s
evil by becoming an immortal being who not only lives for the kill but also for
the blood. Unlike other vampire type stories, these creatures can have sex, but
they can never be satisfied. In fact they are created by sex magic.

I
loved the idea of these creatures being created in such way. But the book is
not focused primarily on the vampire element, instead it takes the reader on a
journey to the distant past as well as the present, as it is Arcona who in the
past vows vengeance. The Arcona in present day, while having the same name, has
no idea what she has done, because she has been reincarnated with a clean
slate.
But the cosmos conspires to bring her back to herself, where she undoes the
damage she has created in the past.

There
is also sex that Arcona is having with multiple men in order for her to create
her army of men. That is what made me realize that this book is not your
typical romance, and I was ok with that. I love how Arcona, when she remembers
her past, is truly a different person than the woman bent on her enemies
ultimate destruction. She is truly sorry, and gives Tyr back his life.

Overall
I really enjoyed the book. It kept me intrigued from beginning to end and the
going back and forth in time just worked.

I
give the book 4 stars and recommend this book for collection.”

This is what Ezrabet Enchantments Reviews had to say about

The Strix-5 Stars!

If you enjoy books with a historical and contemporary flair, then
give this one a whirl. Witches, gladiators, blood, curses, betrayals and of
course, some sexy vampires with attitude problems. I loved it. When the book
opens up, we are in the past as a priestess tries to find her calling. It comes
in the form of blood and fire. Next, we are in the present, wandering the
streets of Salem. I am a sucker for witch stories, especially in Salem.

I loved the flow of this story and the imagery. You can smell the
arena, the gladiators and feel the anguish of the characters. The dialogue is
spot on and the erotic scenes are super hot. I hate giving too much away, but
if you enjoy an adventure that crosses time, curses, vengeance, hot sex and
some hotter vampires, then this book is for you. There are some elements of f/f
erotica and anal play, but that only made the story even hotter.

In much sadder news most everyone who follows the romance community
on Facebook already knows one of Ellora’s Cave favorite cover models and
Caveman is gone.

“Angelo” Ruben Dario Riguero- Brito was shot and killed outside a Dallas club early Sunday morning and he will be missed by many.

I remember the day I received my new EC book cover for “Sugar Roux
Voodoo” and being completely thrilled that Angelo was the hero. There was a
sweet warmth about Angelo that made him a great favorite. I don’t believe
anyone will be taking his place any time soon. He was special.
